DopamineDetox Timer | DopaGate vs AppsBlocker

This app helps you introduce a mindful delay before launching dopamine-triggering apps such as social media or video platforms.  By displaying a customizable image or preset visual for a user-defined duration, it creates a brief moment of reflection — a conscious pause that empowers you to make better digital choices. Whether you want to display a calming nature photo for 30 seconds or a motivational quote for 2 minutes, the experience is yours to control.  You can select which apps are "gated," and fine-tune the waiting time from 0 seconds to 1 hour. This isn't a blocker. It's a mindful gatekeeper — designed not to restrict, but to restore your attention and intention before the next digital action. Features: - Customizable gate images (use your own photo or choose from presets) - Adjustable delay timer (0 seconds to 1 hour) - Select which apps trigger the pause No tracking, no distractions — just space to breathe Take one moment. Reclaim your mind. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/'
